He may do it better than most, but the results of PM Netanyahu's dancing between US demands and Israel's very (apparent) existence will not bring the desired results. In a post-op of Netanyahu's Sunday speech, Louis Beres points out one major flaw in Bibi's proposal: aside from a track record of breaking agreements, any Arab state formed in Judea and Samaria could legally break its agreements once a new terrorist state was formed:

BUT WHAT IF the government of a new state was willing to consider itself bound by the prestate, nontreaty agreement? Even in these circumstances, the new government would have ample pretext to identify various grounds for lawful treaty termination. It could withdraw from the "treaty" because of what it regarded as a "material breach" (a violation by Israel that had allegedly undermined the object or purpose of the agreement). Or it could point toward what international law calls a "fundamental change of circumstances." Should Palestine declare itself vulnerable to previously unforeseen dangers, perhaps even from the forces of other Arab armies, it could lawfully end its commitment to stay demilitarized.

The real source of strength in Israel comes from the men and women of faith living in Judea and Samaria. Their cause will not fail no matter who their opposer is.
